Green Bean Casserole

Makes 6 game on size servings

1 whole onion cut into thin slices
4-5 stalks celery cut into thin slices

Saute the onion and celery in a covered skillet over low heat with garlic salt and black pepper until wilted and brown. Stir occasionally for even browning.(I only added a few drops of water, but if you want you can add a bit of olive oil to get it started...)

Steam a large bag of frozen green beans in the microwave in a large microwavable bowl until no longer frozen and a little warm.

Mix 3 laughing cow cheese wedges with 1/3 block ff cream cheese. (soften in microwave first) Add onions and celery with the pan juices to the cheese mixture, then add the whole lot to the green beans and stir together.  Bake, covered in 350 oven 15-20 minutes until steamy and warm through.

Remove cover and add 3 portions sliced almonds and return to oven for 5 minutes or so... Remove and crumble 2 slices crispy cooked turkey bacon on top.

Each serving is a protein, a healthy fat and lots and lots of vegetables.
